What tools did Greeks use in geometric construction?

A straightedge and compass.


What tools are necessary when doing geometric constructions?

When performing geometric constructions, the essential tools are a compass, a straightedge (ruler without markings), and a pencil. The compass is used to draw circles and arcs, while the straightedge helps create straight lines between points. These tools allow for precise constructions based on classical geometric principles without relying on measurements. Additionally, paper is needed to carry out the constructions.


What five tools allowed the Greeks to use the five basic postulates of euclidean geometry?

The five tools that enabled the Greeks to utilize the five basic postulates of Euclidean geometry are the straightedge, compass, ruler, protractor, and a set square. The straightedge was used for drawing straight lines, while the compass allowed for the construction of circles and arcs. The ruler helped measure lengths, and the protractor was essential for measuring angles. The set square facilitated the construction of right angles and parallel lines, supporting the geometric principles established by Euclid.


What did Plato believe were the only tools that should be used in geometry?

Plato believed that the only tools needed for geometric calculations was a compass and a ruler. The type of compass being the type with a pencil attached to a pointing device.


Uses of cartesian coordinate system?

The Cartesian coordinate system allows a geometric curve to be described in algebraic terms. This then allows the use of algebraic tools including differentiation and integration to be used to solve geometric problems such as the turning points of curves, their volumes of rotation and so on. It also enables geometric methods to be applied to solving algebraic problems.
